Figures recently announced by the Federal Bureau of Census make this
startling disclosure that in the United States we have lost 2.3 per cetU of our
farms during the past 10 years. South Carolina, according to the same report,
has lost 18.1 per cent. In 1930 we have in South Carolina 34,799 farms less
than in 1920.
It is alanning to nofif that South Carolina has sustained the second laigest percentage loss, ami the second largest loss in total number *>
of farms in the South Atlantic States, and is third in the entire United States in the total number of farms abandoned. ’' . r. —><_ f W (
Such a condition constitutes pui serious problem of today. It presents a challenge to industrial, financial, commercial, political South Carolina.
• ' . . «. 1 . ,— ; rv
Cotton manufacturers recognize the problem. They deplore the wholesale movement of population from the farms'to the mill villages. ' ~
• ' e * . ’’ v; "’‘ t
They are so deeply concerned that they believe the future of the cotton manufacturing industry in no small way i 8 dependent upon the re
habilitation of the farms~anda re-^slaldishment of confidence’ in agriculture.
£
* - . I
•W -v*.
With this definitely in view, the cotton manufacturers have frequently encouraged the pioduction of a better grade of cotton on a more
profitable basis, with better seed, that a better price from the mills may be justified. The Association has, as -a set policy, cooperated with Clemson
College in'this direction. The mills have-.-peisistently encouraged farmers to return to the farms.
There should unquestionably be a distinct movement back to the farms. The cotton manufacturers would to a man be in thorough sympathy
with such a movement. Curtailed production has necessitated a surplus of labor in the mill villages, and while doing everything possible to alle
viate the trouble, it-is.entirely unlikely that cotton mills will be able to offer empoyment in 1931 to anything like the number who worked in the
mills in 1929. • ' . ^ r
Sympathy, however, cannot solve the problem. Constructive action is necessary. Serious- thought, confidence in the future, and a well de
fined program of agricultural revival is required. , ' -xr

The cotton manufacturers call upon land owners, bankers, merchants, law makers, in fact the public at'large, to‘helpr solve this, the serious
problem of our State. \ . ,
